Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post to so don't hesitate to move it if I'm posting in the wrong section.
After buying what I consider enough orchestral libraries for now, I'm wishing to spend a few more bucks to cover some other bases.
Short question : I initially bought BBCSO Core & NSS because I wanted to learn how to properly orchestrate (this is still an ongoing process), but I'd pretty much like to explore something a little bit more intimate (The Queen's Gambit/The Crown) and hybrid sounding (Dark, The Expanse, Watchmen TV) . My question is as simple as that : which sample libraries &/or VST would you recommend for those needs under 500€ ? I've made some pretty extensive research, and so far my choices are leading me to the following list, but maybe you might recommend me something better/different (it's really a thread about exploring possibilities, including "keep your money you got more than necessary to craft the type of sound you're looking for") :
Just to be a bit more precise, these are the one are already own :
Thanks in advance for your contribution !
Extra bonus : If you also happen to have some SFX Synth/Library recommendation, I'm down for it.
